The release of V1.17 of 101 Peek Traffic’s IQ Central provides users with several new features.  Intended for the traffic operations centre, IQ Central is Peek's central traffic equipment management software suite and enables traffic personnel to configure and monitor hundreds of traffic control devices from a central location.

The new features include greenband analysis, allowing users to optimise offset programming for a coordinated corridor using an interactive time-space diagram, while the split monitor function enables optimisation of split programming for an intersection by recording actual phase utilisation and termination data and comparing to the programmed timings. Use the split monitor utility to analyse the programmed versus actual split times run by an actuated intersection running coordination.

In addition, volume and occupancy reports have been updated and expanded, enhanced support for the Voyage controller firmware has been included, as well as support for converting existing IQ Central databases to SQL server for large database handling, and the IQ network configuration tool makes it easier to designate standard and non-standard locations for the IQ Central server, utility application files, and database files adding flexibility during installation.

  • IP technology the route to efficient multi-agency control rooms
    February 1, 2012
    As IP-based technology makes its presence felt in the control room sector, it makes for greater economies of scale and also offers a migration path for many other traffic management technologies. So says Barco's Guy Van Wijmeersch. Efficient control room collaboration and decision-making is only possible if operators and decision-makers have easy and timely access to information. In many cases, that information also needs to be accessible to multiple users at the same time. This is certainly so in the case

    A connective corridor in Syracuse, New York State, could be a model for other post-industrial cities, as David Crawford discovers. The aim of the city of Syracuse’ 5.6km-long Connective Corridor in Onandaga County in upstate New York is to create a model ‘complete street’ for use in wider regeneration schemes. Key transport-sector components are traffic calming, high-quality transit with accessible passenger information, plus walkability and bike-friendliness.

  • High-res traffic data provides planners with the big picture
    November 5, 2015
    Road authorities have a lot to gain from high-resolution traffic data, argues Pravin Varaiya. Traffic engineers have traditionally been forced to operate with limited data regarding the performance of their arterials. Traffic studies are often commissioned once every three years, over a few days, to get an updated estimate of utilization.
